Nutrient deficiencies in olives grown on typical Mediterranean soils (Terra rossa, Rendzina, Lithosol)

摘要: ABSTRACTAn important part of agriculture in the European Mediterranean area is olive (Olea europaea L.) production. Characterising relationships between properties different soils where grown and nutrient status leaves can enhance our understanding soil-plant interactions. Three (Terra rossa, Rendzina, Lithosol) were characterized for their physical chemical characteristics; plant-available nutrients extracted with ammonium nitrate. Soils, soil extracts leaf digests analysed nitrogen leaf. A redundancy analysis (RDA) was applied to elucidate nutrients. As revealed by RDA, concentrations Mg, K, Ca micronutrients explained available total carbonates organic carbon topsoil. Leaf concentration Na associated Copper Mo deficiencies detected plants Lithosol, P, Mn Zn def...
